Q21 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (08 Apr Shift 2) · Chemistry
If the boiling points of two solvents and (having same molecular weights) are in the ratio and their enthalpy of vaporizations are in the ratio , then the boiling point elevation constant of is times the boiling point elevation constant of . The value of is (nearest integer).
Correct answer: 8
Solution
The boiling point elevation constant of a volatile liquid is given by the following expression
Where boiling point of the liquid
molar mass of the liquid
Enthalpy of vaporisationThe boiling points of the two solvents are in the ratio , which means that the boiling point elevation constants are also in the ratio . Let's call the boiling point elevation constant of solvent as , and the boiling point elevation constant of solvent as .
Given:Therefore, the value of m is (nearest integer).
Hence, the correct answer is 8.
